Mayor Rahm Emanuel said in a statement Friday: “I congratulate all of the Chicago restaurants recognized by AAA with Four and Five Diamond ratings. Chicago offers a rich history of diverse food culture and unique culinary experiences. The Second City is second to none in first-rate dining and world-class food.”

Outside of Chicago, Tallgrass in Lockport also received a AAA Four Diamond rating.

Sixty-five evaluators anonymously visit the restaurants to come up with the ratings issued by the travel industry organization, AAA.
